Peppa Pig's mum shares beautiful meaning behind newborn daughter's timeless name
Peppa Pig has become a big sister once again as her mum welcomed another baby girl this morning and has given her the sweetest name
The heartwarming meaning behind Peppa Pig 's new baby sister has been revealed after Mummy Pig gave birth to her third child on Tuesday morning. The Peppa Pig universe has grown a little bigger with the arrival of another baby girl, as Mummy Pig welcomed a new piglet into her family.
The happy news was shared on Good Morning Britain, where it was announced that the newborn, named Evie, was delivered at 5:34 AM. Fans of the beloved animated family have been following the pregnancy journey closely ever since Mummy Pig stunned viewers back in February, making the surprise announcement live on Good Morning Britain that she was expecting again.
The excitement hit new highs last month when a spectacular gender reveal party was held at London's Battersea Power Station, leaving fans squealing with delight when it was revealed a little girl was on the way.
Mummy Pig, who already shares Peppa and George with Daddy Pig, has now revealed the sweet meaning behind Evie's name. The proud mum-of-three has named her newborn after her aunt. Speaking in a video on Good Morning Britain, Peppa told viewers: "Daddy Pig has just shared these pictures with me of Peppa's brand new baby sister Evie, named after Mummy Pig's Aunt Evie."
Speaking to Grazia last month, Mummy Pig said that she had an array of boy names up her sleeve - but she wasn't set on a girls name just yet. "We've got SO many ideas for names. Too many, frankly," she told the publication.
"Knowing it's a girl has narrowed our options down a bit - I'm not sure Peter, Percy or Patrick Pig really work as girls' names. But it's too difficult to choose now. When she's here and looking up at me and Daddy Pig, we'll just know the perfect name. That's what we did when Peppa and George were born."
For those wondering where baby Evie made her grand entrance - the Peppa Pig family spared no expense. Mummy Pig welcomed her third child at the Lindo Wing in London - the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Mummy Pig delivered at the ultra-exclusive maternity ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where a single night starts at £5,900, with top-tier deluxe packages priced at £7,500.
Back at home, big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be 'over the moon' and counting down the moments until they can cuddle their new sibling. As for the proud parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig shared that they're 'looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights.'
And fans won't have to wait long to join the celebration themselves. A brand-new cinema special, Peppa Meets the Baby, lands in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries on May 30. The hour-long musical event will include 10 brand-new episodes, following Peppa and George as they get ready to welcome their baby sister.
Ahead of the big screen release, the gender reveal episode premiered on the Peppa Pig Tales YouTube channel on May 3, giving fans an early look at the moment that had everyone squealing with excitement.
Since its debut in 2004, Peppa Pig has become a global phenomenon, airing in 180 regions, translated into 40 languages, and spawning a billion-pound empire of books, toys, and theme parks.

Loose Women's Kaye Adams hints at major life change after saying 'I lost my job'
Loose Women star Kaye Adams has opened up about the impact of the ITV daytime cuts, saying she may have to move into a one-bedroom flat after "losing her job" Kaye Adams from Loose Women has hinted at the possibility of downsizing to a one-bedroom flat after joking about "losing her job" on the hit ITV programme. Last month, ITV revealed major shake-ups in their daytime TV line-up, resulting in the loss of over 220 jobs and cutbacks to popular shows such as Loose Women and Lorraine. The broadcasting schedule now sees Loose Women airing for only 30 weeks per year, with Lorraine Kelly's programme also reduced to a half-hour format. In a significant shift, Good Morning Britain will be produced by ITV News at ITN instead of ITV Studios, extending its broadcast from 6am to 9.30am every day. Despite the changes, ITV Studios will continue producing This Morning, Lorraine, and Loose Women, which are set to air from a new central London location, reports Glasgow Live. On her How to be 60 podcast alongside Karen MacKenzie, the 62 year old presenter discussed the potential need for drastic lifestyle adjustments following the network's announcement. Adams shared: "I agreed ages to do this programme called Yorkshire Auction House, the whole thing is they get people like me who are ready to get rid of big bits of furniture, downsize and they take them to an auction house and they sell them off and they film it." Kaye Adams revealed she hasn't told her partner Ian that a film crew will be arriving at their home to collect various items she's given away, saying: "They're coming tomorrow with the truck apparently and I haven't told Ian. For the last week, I keep trying to start the conversation with him 'by the way, there's a film crew coming and I've told them that they can have that sideboard, that chair and that desk. "I was deliberating about the baby grand piano, but if I move into a smaller place I don't know where I'm going to put it. And now I've lost my job, I might be in a one-bedroom flat somewhere." The presenter previously told the podcast that the cuts "came out of the blue "and that she had suffered a few "sleepless nights". She said: "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life." The situation led to a few restless nights, with Kaye explaining: "I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it's just like the rug's been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar." Despite the challenges, Kaye tried to find a positive perspective: "It's going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It's a huge change. But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good." She continued to focus on looking forward, rather than dwelling on the past: "The past is a trap, don't fear the future – I'm telling myself all these things. And maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I'll just have to go with it." Meanwhile, Kaye's Loose Women colleague Nadia Sawalha also voiced her disapproval of the cuts, describing them as "absolutely brutal" to production staff and completely "out of the blue". Speaking on her YouTube channel, Nadia praised the success of Loose Women and the Lorraine show, hitting out at what she described as "misogynistic" talk concerning recent cuts. The star said: "What people don't realise at Loose Women is that we're self-employed, I am self-employed. Every contract is a new contract. "I could be let go tomorrow, I could be let go in five years, you don't know because we're not employees. "What's been brutal, absolutely brutal, over the last week, honestly I feel tearful about it, is that hundreds of people... are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are all the people behind the scenes that support us in every way."

I'm A Celebrity star says 'I don't think I'd want to be here' as they open up on health
Darren Day has spoken out about his mental health and addiction battle, as he revealed that he was misdiagnosed with a number of different conditions before being told he had ADHD. Darren Day has opened up about the significant difference his ADHD diagnosis and subsequent treatment have made to his life, after years of battling with misdiagnoses. The West End actor, 56, who has candidly discussed his addiction and mental health challenges, shared his experience of being diagnosed on Good Morning Britain last Friday. Discussing the matter with Rob Rinder and Kate Garraway, he said: "I talk openly about it because when I do talk about it on social media, I get so many people asking me and I can point them in the right direction now." Day explained how he had been labelled with various conditions: "I was diagnosed with a lot of different qualifications, I call them." During the interview, he disclosed past diagnoses of borderline personality disorder, bipolar type 2, high scores for Asperger's syndrome and indications of autism. Admitting the difficulty with his condition, he remarked: "All of them, my head is wonky." Kate weighed in on his comment, noting: "You say wonky, but that is what neurodiversity is." When Kate queried whether his many conditions were perhaps inaccurately diagnosed, Darren acknowledged: "Perhaps, some people think that." He went on to reveal how desperate things had become: "In November last year I was taking about 17 pills a day, and I'm going to be level with you, I thought that if it wasn't for me being a dad and having a great partner and great family, and the devastation it would cause my loved ones, I don't think I'd want to be here anymore." He shared the extent of his frustration: "It got that bad, I was thinking, 'I'm taking 17 pills a day so I shouldn't be feeling like this'." Following advice to check for ADHD, Darren found that he scored a staggering 96 out of 100. In February, Darren started on ADHD medication and claims it revolutionised his life in just five days. "It changed my life, my head was quiet for the first time in 20 years, I'm focused," he revealed. The I'm A Celebrity star also noted that it had a significant effect on his stage presence and couldn't overstate the transformation the medication brought about. "I've probably had it forever, but then things happen in our lives, traumas and stuff, that make the symptoms worse, but I promise you, I know there's people that are sceptical about it, I probably was if I'm completely honest," he continued, emphasising the positive impact of his diagnosis and treatment. "I want to try and give people what I've got - a peace and quietness in my head that I've not experienced in so long, maybe ever." Darren also opened up about his battle with addiction and a 2018 relapse that led to Robbie Williams "saving" his life. "I was in a really bad place," he recounted, recalling a moment when he broke down while driving. After reaching out to the Take That star, who assured him, "Leave it all to me," Darren emotionally acknowledged: "Here I am today. I wouldn't be here without Rob." Reflecting on his journey in a recent chat with The Express, Darren spoke about how his ADHD meds have supported his sobriety. He commented: "I'm very strong in my sobriety now, and there's quiet in my head, there's less chaos. It makes sobriety easier. I don't feel the need to self-medicate. "Everything has changed. In last three months I've been in the best place I've been in for 25 years. I thank God every day I get up. I love going to work, I love being with my kids, I love speaking spending time with my partner Sophie – we live in Brentwood, Essex, now. "I feel like a weight has lifted, I'm in a good place and I'm really happy people still want to come and see me. I put everything into what I'm doing." Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1.

Natasha Hamilton reveals secret cancer battle in emotional Good Morning Britain interview - after mistaking warning signs for mosquito bite
Natasha Hamilton opened up about her secret skin cancer battle in an emotional Good Morning Britain interview on Friday. The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, gave fans a health update as she spoke about her diagnosis of Basal-cell carcinoma -which she received last year - with hosts Kate Garraway, 58, and Robert Rinder, 47. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. Non-melanoma means it does not involve skin pigment cells. Kate pointed out: 'I was saying thankfully because we want to establish that you are now fine. You're cancer free and all is good, but you're a living health warning in a way.' Natasha said: 'I am. now I have to be really vigilant, I have to check my skin all the time. 'Since then I've had a few things appear where I've had to go back to the dermatologist, they're on the "watch list". From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The 42-year-old thought that she had been bitten while on holiday, but then after four weeks, realised that it was something else (pictured) 'This is probably something I am going to have to keep an eye for the rest of my life.' The singer went on to explain how she was diagnosed with cancer. Natasha said: 'So I had been on holiday, I wasn't actually in the sun a lot, my baby was only about five months old and I was breastfeeding. 'One afternoon I had her on my lap, my back was in the sun and I burnt. 'I don't know if it was later that day or the next day, I had an itchy spot on my back, i thought it was a mosquito bite... 'I felt it, I went "oh mosquito bite". 'It wasn't until four weeks later when I was at home and it was itching I was like hang on a minute that seems a bit long for a mosquito bite. 'I asked my hub to have look and he went oh that's not a bite, he took a picture, I looked at it and I went I think I know what that is. 'Originally it had just been a dark freckle. 'I had on my back for many years, it wasn't raised it wasn't a mole. ' 'It was just a freckle.' Kate then asked her about her sunbed use from her Atomic Kitten days, to which Natasha said: 'People of my age will probably feel the same or remember, if you were going on a night out, you used a sunbed cos you wanted that sun kissed look to make yourself feel good, to give you a bit of confidence. 'If I was going to do something like Top of The Pops, or a big TV show, I'd want to look sun kissed, so we would go to the sunbeds. 'There was a sun bed shop facing the hotel that we stayed in all the time in London. 'I used tan accelerators and I can honestly say I don't think that there was ever a time when I went on a sun bed that I didn't burn, looking back now. 'I'm type one skin anyway, I'm not supposed to be in such intense sun.' The star also revealed that her mum has also had her own battle with skin cancer. Natasha explained: 'Two years previous, my mum had been suffering with a patch of dry skin that wouldn't heal. 'I wasn't anything ominous looking, it was a piece of skin. 'I said to her go and see a dermo, I'd done a lot of research previous. 'Initially she was told it was nothing and sent away. 'That was at the doctors, a year later, I saw it and it looked sore and aggravated, I said mum please ask them to refer you to a dermatologist. 'Straight away they said look it is skin cancer. 'She had a lot of cancerous sells burnt off her face, it was very painful for her.' Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6:00am on ITV. WHAT IS BASAL CELL CARCINOMA? Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. Non-melanoma means it does not involve skin pigment cells. BCC makes up more than 80 per cent of all forms of skin cancer in the UK and US. About 5.4 million basal and squamous cell skin cancers are diagnosed each year in the US and around 100,000 in the UK. It is mainly caused by overexposure to UV light from the sun or tanning beds. BCC can occur anywhere on the body but is most common on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and ears. The following people are most at risk: People with fair skin or hair Those who work outdoors People who use sunbeds Those with a personal history of the condition BCC is usually painless. Early symptoms often only include a scab that bleeds occasionally and does not heal. Some appear as flat, red, scaly marks or have a pearl-like rim. The latter can then erode into a ulcer. Others are lumpy with shiny nodules crossed by blood vessels. Most BCCs can be cured, however, treatment is complex if they are left for a long time. Treatment usually involves removing the cancerous tumour and some of the surrounding skin.
